U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his threat of legal action against The New York Times on June 21, accusing the newspaper of publishing “treasonous” coverage that downplayed the impact of the nearly four-month war with Iran.

“I will be adding all of their false and ridiculous reporting to my multi Billion Dollar lawsuit against them. They are Criminals,” Trump wrote in a June 21 post on Truth Social.
